Frequently Asked Questions

Is SAP a TMS system?
SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) is a TMS module within the SAP ERP ecosystem. It handles freight planning, carrier selection, and shipment execution. While powerful for large enterprises, most mid-market 3PLs use dedicated TMS platforms that offer faster implementation and lower total cost.
Is Trimble a TMS?
Trimble offers TMS solutions through its Trimble Transportation division, including the Kuebix platform (now Trimble Transportation Visibility). Trimble TMS provides rate comparison, carrier booking, and shipment tracking. It is particularly popular among mid-market shippers and 3PLs.
What CRM do logistics companies use?
Logistics-focused CRMs include HubSpot, Salesforce, and specialized options like Magaya CRM and Logistiq. The best CRM for a 3PL tracks prospect pipelines, stores RFP details, manages client onboarding workflows, and integrates with your WMS for operational data.
How do 3PLs generate sales leads with software?
Modern 3PLs use a combination of CRM for pipeline management, marketing automation for lead nurturing, and digital tools like ROI calculators and cost comparison widgets on their websites. Sales intelligence platforms help identify brands that may be outgrowing their current fulfillment setup.
